Trying to Conceive Forum

Hello ladies! I am new to TTC, and have suffered very ungracefully through this awfull TWO WEEK WAIT! I'm pretty sure that I'm pregnant, but of course I have no way of knowing that for sure yet. Already have a couple of BFN's under my belt this week and last.
Lots of traditional symptoms - cramping, short fuse, achy breasts, metalmouth, nausea, dizziness.
Need some girlfriends going through the same. Also, really need someone to help me stop driving myself crazy with this. I'm not a very patient person. I prefer instant gratification.
Any body out there like me?
Little info: 26, married, 1 DD, midwesterner, but with a southern girl's heart, moving in two weeks, full time job, Christian, curious, a little crunchy, full-on geek (I love to research everything!).
Thanks girls!

I am totally with you on how awful the waiting. I have three days to go in this cycle and I am keeping everything crossed I don't end up with another disappointment. I have been trying for roughly 8 months to get my BFP and am also a compulsive pee stick aholic (using all my will power not to waste yet another test) and a symptom spotter something bad am hoping that the witch stays away this month for the both of us

I'm glad I'm not alone. Last night, 10DPO, I took another FRER test. BFN. I remember last time I got pregnant, the first day I was supposed to start is the first day I took the test, and the line was very faint (I think it was a clear blue easy). I realize that not everyone gets a BFP this early out, but my BFN last night is disheartening. Maybe if I test tomorrow or Friday? The :af:

is supposed to show up Saturday. STAY AWAY!
That's got to feel like forever. I can't even begin to imagine the frustration. However, it's totally within the norm. I gotta tell you, ladies like you who keep it together going through this kind of wait are ROCKSTARS. Keep me posted!

Today I am 12 dpo and continue to receive BFN....I really want this month to be the month. After this, we are no longer actively ttc. It has been a long road for DH and me and I just need to accept what God has planned for us.

I was previously testing with ic but they were so heartbreaking because one would show bfp and the next would show bfn, so I am back to using frer and of course, all bfn. I typically never tested until af was late and when I did have a bfp, it was very faint, so hoping that is the case this month. My temps had a big dip yesterday which I believe rules me out and that af will be here anyday now, but this morning it was back up, so I am not sure what to think.

GL to all you ladies and I really hope we all get the bfp we are wishing and praying for ....

AK Jones,

I am with you as well. This is our first month ttc #2. Im 12 DPO and this evening I felt pretty sure that im pregnant. Same symptoms as you, my hips are sore and achy breasts. I feel at night that I am getting a cold, just kinda achy all over. I get tired in the middle of the day and ready for bed very early. With my first, I felt very similar. I tested with my first at 12 DPO and it was BFN. I am going to wait till Sunday which will be 14 DPO for me. Also, you should test in the morning. You are at your highest chances for BFP in the morning because of your hormone levels.
